    1988 PBA Brunswick World Open 9-Ball Semi Finals: McCready v. Strickland

    apologist? "WOW, when I woke-up today, I never dreamed I'd be reading someone's social commentary on the 70's, [(from inside the poolroom) no less] here on AZ. "JAM, your an excellent apologist!!!" Keith (in retirement) can rest easy, as his PR, is handled by a PRO. I'd like to add...

    I wonder how many people would have done what Hohmann did

    "Still human!" Well------------, I guess that happens, too! But still,------------ I've called a double hit foul on myself before and had my opponent not understand the infraction, more than once thats happened, too.

    14.1 On PPV...does it work $$ wise?

    Pat's LOVE!! You've surmised and presented an interesting predicament with these observations on profit motives being the sole reason for streaming. However,the ACCU-STATS "Make it Happen"customers wanted to see these top players compete and brought this double round robin event about, in the...

    Earl and the Mosconi

    Really?????????????????????? REALLY, the A.P.A.,? That's the reason for Pool's growth spurt phenomenon??? Then how'd this happen? I sold my Balabusha with 2 Szamboti shafts, 4 original shafts in August of 1985 for $1250.00 to my friend Rick Garrison. Not more than 6 months later the "Color...

    So the Bonus Ball saga continues.....

    Life as a P.P.P.! (PRO POOL PLAYER) LOL! The "real world" doesn't enter in to "the reason why" ALL the pro's invited (except for a few) took the bait! My sincere question from the inception of BB was, "who doesn't know this is going to FAIL miserably?" I guess the answer was, "the Pro...

    Cyclop Balls

    Ball perfection??? Hey John, the "party line" is that the "Saluc resin formula" is different than the old "Hyatt resin formula" used through out the life of the original Centennials. I was told by one of the Diamond employee's that "Bob (the owner of Hyatt) gave the formula to Adrian (the...

    So where is the Bonus Ball annoucement?

    At Tunica, I asked the star MVP Bonus Ball player what the long term money "plans" were for BB and it's players. His reply was VERY defensive (as if he'd been accosted all week at the 10-ball) and now we've possibly reached "THE END" a week later, go figure!!!

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

    Agreed!!! Boy, I really------never thought I'd say this, but, I totally agree. I've set up a bunch of tables to play tougher (but fair) and after all these years I believe what I've come to find out is; "people don't really care that much about developing their position skills [(which requires...

    Thanks to the Bonus Ball Crew...

    Mark, It's Billy Gibbs, I certainly didn't intend or want you to even sense any form of disrespect! I merely wondered why this conflict and annoyance with BB wasn't "promoted" as an opportunity for weaker players to score a good finish in a Major Event? Crazy as it sounds, my little world is...

    Bonus Ball now to be know as BOGUS BALL

    .......there sure are a lot of little interface settings one can screw up when dealing with the camera's and the Tricaster and the bit rate of the PPV stream, so-----Amazon and not AVW, I guess WHY???? One would assume after all that time Nathan had the hardware set correctly? If he didn't call...

    Thanks to the Bonus Ball Crew...

    Question? .....I know you've been promoting events since,-----well, let's say along time. Your heart is linked inextricably to the various business aspects of pool, too. Not to mention your a player and a big fan as well, so------riddle me this; does it really matter that 36 of the best...

    Cue info

    Interestingly enough! I just did repair on a cue identical to this one, day before yesterday. The customer wanted the cue to play like a good cue of the 90's era with that type of construction. This cue had been owned previously by his father and the only difference between your cue and his...

    Make It Happen

    Good thread! Having just read through these post's about the upcoming ACCU-STATS "Make it happen" event, I'm really looking forward to the watching these matches, live! They "ALL,-------" figure to be really awesome match-ups! P.S. As the Invitational is a race to 3 on the 10 footer, Does...

    RIP Sid Waddell

    How strange this "LIFE!" My condolences to his family, and those who worked with him and counted him as friend, but especially to you sir! As I read this, I'm sitting in Cincinnati, having arrived late Thursday to watch the ACCU-STATS 8-ball invitational with my friend Sherm Adamson. On Friday...

    ZEN in the Art of Tactful Communication

    Eastern thinking? Jay-----surely you jest? One of my friends once informed me, when "YOU," personally, experience something, you then have the authority to speak on the subject! So I guess the question here is, "kinda like, how do ya teach what "YOU" don't know (most need to learn)?" I'd...

    ZEN in the Art of Tactful Communication

    CJ's video release? Hey Joey, I take it you heard some of this info on the "Earl chronicle" in Tunica? Do you have any news of a perspective release date or how and when, "the world?," will get to see this? CJ came by the video production room with Jay and described his project to Pat, but I...

    Seriously..that non-rack rack?

    "Just a thought for you to consider" Well,-------(IMHO) The idea that the "Magic rack" has made some positive headway in solving some of the problems (common to getting the balls positioned fairly in the racking position) has some merit. However, when one considers that the 8-ball "Magic rack"...

    Worst thing to happen to pool in recent memory?

    "R-e-a-l-l-y!" Since your talking about the "WOES" of the World of Pool, today, how would you like to walk into a Bar and play an opponent rated a 2, then find out it was Cincinnati Clem. "BET, he----- didn't lose a single match as a 2," and the "ART" was watching...
